This week in Earth Science, we read about rockets. We are p[lanning on flying some 2-Liter Bottle rockets when the weather warms up. We started presenting our history project in American History. We had a WWI battle with nerf guns, did some golfing, and watched a dance. Both groups presented for about 1 hour. We wrote two poems in English class for our poetry book (Cinquain and Alliteration). We had our 17th test over lessons 1-85 in math class. We played Nitroball and team dodgeball in PE in the Wykoff Commons Gymnasium. We are talking about drugs in health class. We are giving offerings for Heifer International which provides animals to poor countries to help them start farms and to raise money. In the sixth week of the second semester, students have given enough to buy a flock of ducks, a hive of honey bees, a flock of chickens, some rabbits, a sheep, a pig, and a ½ of a goat. Keep bringing in those offerings throughout the remainder of the school year. Praise the Lord!

Remember to check FastDirect weekly to see how your child is doing. The schedule of assignments due for the upcoming week is also listed under each subject (typically I do it by Sunday night). The date in FastDirect is the day it was assigned. It is typically due one or two days later. Remember you can correct papers that are a C or below.

May the Lord continue to shower your homes with His love and grace! Be safe and wear a mask! We are in the season of Advent preparing for the coming of Jesus. Praise Our Savior, Jesus!

This week in Earth Science, we played Jeopardy Review and took a test on the Stars and the Universe. We also started a new chapter on Space Exploration, and we read about rockets. We worked on our Google slide projects with our partners in American History. We start presenting our projects next week. Students read some interesting articles in our God’s World Weekly Reader. We wrote two poems in English class for our poetry book (Clerihew & Quatrain). We did an investigation study in our math books on probabilities (7th) and scatter plots (8th). We played Trench and had a volleyball game in PE in the Wykoff Commons Gymnasium. We had a review test in spelling which marked the ⅔ way through our year. We heard a fairy tale on Friday presented by Mr. Brand in celebration of National Tell a Fairy Tale Day. We are giving offerings for Heifer International which provides animals to poor countries to help them start farms and to raise money. In the fifth week of the second semester, students have given enough to buy a flock of ducks, a hive of honeybees, a flock of chickens, some rabbits, a sheep, and a pig.
